Comments for the name Kelli

There is a bad history of the name. It's an old English fact that there's been terrible luck for the woman named Kelli. But don't worry other Kellys, as long as there's a Y, you're safe. :-)

Means sustainer of virtue.

Famous bearer: Model Kelli Harman. Now Kelli Harman-Levinsky, Kelli has a son named Trevor -- a successful model himself.

One of my friends' names is Kelli. People misspell her name "Kelly" a lot though, and she hates that.

This is my name, or Kelly with an I as some others have said. And when I was younger, I hated the spelling of my name, mostly because everyone else was spelling it wrong. (Including some people in my family!) But I love it now, it has grown on me, and it is a great name. (Just don't place the name game.) And with one of the comments saying that it is bad luck to be named Kelli, I happen to be pretty lucky.

This is also the Hungarian form, the name day being July 8th.

Kelli is a tomboyish girl name.

My name is Kelli. My parents wanted to give me a different spelling. In a way "Kelli" is frustrating, because EVERYONE (I mean EVERYONE) spells it incorrectly eventually. However, I love it because I know a million Kellys, and I love being different.

A famous bearer is American stage actress and singer Kelli O'Hara (born April 16, 1975). She's noted for having performed in many musical theatre roles, including Nellie Forbush in "South Pacific", Babe Williams in "The Pajama Game", and Clara Johnson in "The Light in the Piazza", all on Broadway. She also began a recording career in 2006.

It's not pretty whatsoever.

A famous bearer is actress Kelli Renee Williams (The Practice, Lie To Me).

My name is Kelli. I like it for the fact that it's unique and flows nice with my middle name (Elizabeth). The only problem is that people always spell it wrong. Especially teachers. If I tell them not to spell it with an 'y,' the next thing they do is spell it with an 'ie.' I'm just Kelli with an i.. learn it!
